I have been liquidating my beer collection. Selling for pennies on the dollar. I've moved around 100 bottles and cans so far.

What was I thinking amassing that much beer? I mean, back in 2015-2017 I guess I figured good beer was going to be hard to find, but there's no way I would have been able to drink all of this, regardless.

If you're in the Twin Cities and want a smokin' deal, hit me up. I'm not shipping. The amount I'm charging for this stuff is basically a local delivery fee, with the beer being free.

What’s everybody getting in their market in terms of Bourbon County?

Took this picture yesterday at a Hy-Vee. They wouldn't sell any ahead of time, though. I asked. 1 case of each of the Birthday and anniversary.

Sadly, we’re not getting either of those. Special #4 is the best we’re getting.

I miss the wacked out bottle shares and drinking warm stouts the next day. This was right before the dark times.

So much for getting out of the game.

Special 4, fog, caramello and regs by me, and that'll be all.

Same here.

This is the first year I was able to walk into the store at midnight and grab any variant I wanted, no line.

It was weird.

Usually the store has a line 2 hours deep and everyone is drinking in line.

I have a spot that's holding me one of each var, I'll grab them next week.

A few other places stating they're not selling and just cellaring until they can have a bigger release like in years past....kinda weak but whatever. Most places I see got 2 cases caramello/spec 4, and 1 fog.

What'd you grab?

63schoeffling · Fri Nov 27, 2020 12:15 pm

I'll probably roll over to my local spot that has all the variants on tap this weekend. Every year I grab a case of regular, but I will figure out which variants I like the best and then snag a few bottles. So far I hear they are all pretty good and no clunkers.

Also - about to open a 2020 Bruery Double Barrel Grey Monday... going to be a long day.

I grabbed one of each variant. plus one place today had a 2019 Mon Cheri so i nabbed that too.

Probably try the fog tonight.

What were your prices?

Reg was $16.99 and Variants were $24.99 at my bottle shop. Grocery store I grabbed a Carmella for $16.99 and the Mon Cheri for $19.99.
